Finaly putting my 69 cst 396 back to gether,
I have a rear end out of a silverado in my truck right now, and I am totaly confused on what type of tranny to use, or automatic either.
the engine is bored 30 over, has dart heads,
edl rpm 2-0 manifold forged pistons connecting rods, roller cam this engine should run, what trans should I use, the rear end is a 3.73 or would a borg warner hold the power?

your best bet for the buck would be a 400 turbo. All parts would fit and are available at reasonable prices. If you go stick ,go for a wide ratio Muncie or Borg Super T-10, the Saginaw is unsuitable for heavy use.

what would you use? I want to be able to street race this truck. the cam I have in it is a 3/4 in lift crower roller.
if I do use the th400 will the rear end be geared to high? or if I use the stick why a wide ratio?
what would I get a super t out of anyways?
not to knowledgable about chevy interchange
thanks agian for the help
